Click the red link for the picture and do the upload. Mostly there are two sizes available at xkcd and a browser shows typically the larger one while the standard size is preferred here. Just copy the picture URL to your clipboard and change the picture name from file_2x.png to file.png.

Click the create link at the "List of all comics" for the comic page and use that template. Don't forget the incomplete tags for the explain and transcript sections.

Create the redirects for the comic number and comic name (like 1864 and City Nicknames - The content is just

#REDIRECT [[1864: City Nicknames]]).

Edit the Template:LATESTCOMIC. Increase the number but DO NOT change anything else or the bot will fail on the next comic.
